Mark, Besides Fitt's law, I see the following benefits of this design:
1) Saving vertical space on the dock. Instead of three separate icons (worth 3 "icon-heights") we now have 1-1.5 "icon-heights" due to condensed design. 2) The three actions (launching new apps, finding files and switching workspaces) are what a user does fairly often. Having the buttons at a fixed position on the dock would facilitate more fluent workflow. This will also prevent these buttons from being "rolled into overflow" as it makes them painful to find. Show Desktop is another good candidate, though a bit "unoriginal" :). The best place for the Trash, IMHO, is in the Files & Folders overview mode. Another category below Favorite Folders called, e.g. "Deleted Items". This will also make it immediately "searchable".
